This thread has died off since the protest are over, but the US is still building up forces in the region like it's going to kick off again.

They are already in striking distance, it’s gonna happen in the next couple of days.

*sigh* looks like forced regime change is on its way.

They're not the threat they once were. They are broke and overextended. But the coalition of Russia, China, Iran and Venezuela was much more of a threat than any one of them.

Taking Iran and Venezuela off the table while Russia is broke, weak and overextended is exactly when to do it.

Great post.

The regime is panicking. “Iran objects in strongest terms to holding the Special Session. Day-to-day life in Iran is proceeding normally...”​

Air France, British Airways, Lufthansa, KLM, and several other international airlines have begun to cancel flights tonight and over the weekend to and from Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, citing the “security situation” in the Middle East.

Khamenei hiding in underground shelter in Tehran, sources say​

Ali Khamenei has moved into a special underground shelter in Tehran after senior military and security officials assessed an increased risk of a potential US attack, two sources close to the government told Iran International.
The facility was described as a fortified site with interconnected tunnels.
The sources indicated that Masoud Khamenei, the supreme leader’s third son, has taken over day-to-day management of the leader’s office and serves as the main channel for communication with executive branches of the government.

Khamenei hides in a bunker and his one of his children play the part of sacrifice.

Hopefully if there's a strike against Iran, he's trapped in his tunnels, unable to escape and dies a slow and painful death.

When it doesn’t involve Israel, the world goes quiet.
No statements. No outrage. All we hear is crickets.




The difference between the “Free Iran” and “Free Palestine” movements is simple:

Some of those Persian women are some of the most naturally beautiful women in the world. Draw a big oval around the Mediterranean, including Eastern Europe, North Africa, Itally, Spain, ect...and you have some real knockouts.

These people are about to get first class tax paying dollar support, yet I don't know how many times I've seen burnings of our flag and their chants about America over the years. I guess if you live in a 3rd world country that cannot defend itself from the American military might and you want to overthrow your .gov our dollars will be there. Just don't be Ukrainian and probably before too long Taiwanese.

From Iranian Elica Le Bon

For the past two years, every commentator, media outlet, podcaster, and influencer took Hamas’s numbers as gospel and cited them as fact.

Now that every Iranian inside Iran has stated the same thing—that the number of reported deaths at 12k, 15k, or 20k are wildly underreported and laughable in comparison to the carnage—when doctors from various hospitals all confirm the same findings, the people who claimed to care about humanity are now doubling over laughing.

Why? Because Israel supports the Iranian people, and that makes their lives instantly worth nothing.

Antisemitism is truly a derangement syndrome. When people are infected by it, their reality inverts. They see terrorists killing civilians as truth tellers, and civilians being killed by terrorists as liars.

We are so deep in the bad place.

When Khomeini and his Islamist ideologues came to power in Iran, they lowered the legal age for marriage to 9 years old.

This is like Epstein island on a whole different scale.

Iraq’s new law allowing children as young as 9 to marry undermines women and girls' rights

Iraq has passed a controversial amendment to its personal status law, which now allows girls as young as 9 to marry. This decision has sparked widespread condemnation from human rights organisations and global bodies.​

Time to overthrow Iraq again.

We do need to be careful and not instill our values on other countries and their culture. I know 9 yr olds getting married sounds nuts to us but other cultures not so much. Sometimes Americans get to thinking that everyone wants to be a good Christian. You know, if you're a fundamentalist Muslim in Iraq or Iran, the last thing you wanna be is a good Christian.

Wtf, a 9 year old girl getting married isn’t ok. No matter where you live.

Its okay as long as you're on the good guy team, its frown upon if you're on the bad guy team.

A good amount of things people take for granted here, are outlawed in part or whole in various parts of the middle east. Saudi is actually a very brutal place despite the veneer, but they get the pass because they're on Team Good (for the moment).

You can play mental gymnastics all you want. Marrying a 9 year old girl is wrong. Just because your team says it’s ok doesn’t make it ok.

Oh, you have my comments confused. I would say its not my business but no I don't support it, I'm telling you the reality of how these things are.

Well if you are a cannibal, eating your neighbor is not necessarily an evil thing, we need to be careful not to view the world in terms of Western values. /sarcasm

Some ideas on this board are simply not worth engaging.
